Sources from the Cardinals and Giants told USA Today that there has been no timetable set for the slugger to make a decision on choosing his next team.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are also considered a dark horse to land the slugger. Sources familiar with the situation told FanRag Sports that a mega-deal isn't likely, but it isn't impossible.

Stanton is from the Los Angeles Valley and lives in the Hollywood Hills. The 28-year-old 2017 National League MVP made $14.5 million in 2017 with the Marlins. His salary jumps to $25 million in 2018 and escalates to $32 million annually from 2023 through 2025.
